Answer to Question 1

Answers should include the laws and actions brought about by the following international agreements: the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro (1992), the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, and the Durban Accord in 2011.

Answer to Question 2

The carbonate-silicate cycle contains a negative feedback loop that would have mitigated the impacts of the decreased solar luminosity. If the Earth was relatively cool 4 billion years ago, then silicate weathering would have slowed down and the rate of drawdown of CO2 from the atmosphere into the oceans would have also decreased. Slowing down the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere allows CO2 concentrations to increase, thus creating a greater greenhouse effect that compensates for the lower solar luminosity.

The cure for trichomoniasis is easy as long as the patient does not drink alcoholic beverages for 24 hours. Just a single dose of medication is needed to rid the body of the disease. However, without proper precautions, an individual may contract the disease repeatedly. In fact, most people develop trichomoniasis again within three months of their last treatment.

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.

Asthma attacks and symptoms usually get started by specific triggers (such as viruses, allergies, gases, and air particles). You should talk to your doctor about these triggers and find ways to avoid or get rid of them.

Pink eye is a term that refers to conjunctivitis, which is inflammation of the thin, clear membrane (conjunctiva) over the white part of the eye (sclera). It may be triggered by a virus, bacteria, or foreign body in the eye. Antibiotic eye drops alleviate bacterial conjunctivitis, and antihistamine allergy pills or eye drops help control allergic conjunctivitis symptoms.
